7BUnit1 People around us
My grandma
My grandma was a short woman with grey hair. She was always cheerful.
She was a very good cook. Her dishes were probably the best in the world.
I will never forget the taste, and the smell as well.
Grandma took care of my family. She was really kind and patient. She died
two years ago and I miss her very much.
--Ben
Alice
Alice is my best friend. She is a tall girl with glasses.She often tells me jokes to make me laugh, but she never makes fun of others.
Alice is a smart girl. She is good at Maths.We often study and play table
tennis together. I hope we will always remain friends.
--Joyce
Mr Li
Mr Li is my Maths teacher. He is tall and thin. His classes are always full of
fun. He uses a lot of games in his teaching.
Mr Li is strict about our studies, but he always encourages us and gives us
support. He often says, ”Never give up and you will be successful.”
--Amy
My dad
I love my dad. He is tall. He has black hair and wears glasses.
My dad is a doctor. Every day, he goes to work and helps sick people. Sometimes he has to work all day and all night, but he still finds time to help me with my studies. He also play ball games with me every weekend. My dad is hard-working, patient and kind. He is a great dad.
Mother’s Day
Mums do a lot of hard work. They cook and clean for us. They also encourage us and give us support. Mother’s Day is the time for us to
say ”Thank you” to our mums.
In most countries, people celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May every year. On this day, people like to buy flowers and make special Mother’s Day cards for their mums.
Mot her’s Day is not only about gifts. We can help our mums do the housework. We can take them to the park or the cinema. Sometimes a simple hug or saying “I love you, Mum” is the perfect gift for our mums. Mother’s Day is about love. If you love your mum, Why not plan a special
Mother’s Day for her?
Middle manes
In many western countries, people have first names(given names) and last names(family names). Many people often have middle names too. Parents give their children middle names to remember someone in their family or someone important to them.
Unit 2 Travelling around the world
France is calling
France is in Western Europe. It is a country with many beautiful places.
Paris is the capital of France. Here you will find many famous places of
interest such as the Eiffel Tower. You can go to the Louvre Museum if you
like art. The most famous street in Paris is the Champs-Elysees. This is the
place to go if you want to visit some shops and department stores.
France is very famous for its wine. There are many vineyards in the centre
of France and farmers grow grapes to make excellent French wine.
The south of France lies on the coast, and it is famous for its wonderful beaches. A French town by the sea is the perfect place for a summer
holiday, but if you prefer to visit France in winter, you can try skiing on the
mountains in the French Alps.
France has something for everyone, so why not visit France this year?
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Tower of Pisa is one of the most beautiful bell towers in Italy. It is not only beautiful, but also strange—it leans to one side. Today it is known as “the Leaning Tower of Pisa”.
The building of the tower began in 1173. It took nearly 200 years to complete. In 1178, when the building got to the third floor, it started to lean. The builders tried to make the tower straight again when they built the upper floors, but failed.
Over the years, the tower has continued to lean further. Experts have done
a lot of st udies and tried to “rescue” the tower. In 1990, it was closed to the public for safety reasons. After a lot of effort, it reopened in 2001, hopefully it will be safe for at least the next 300 years.
Backpacking
Backpacking is a popular style of travelling. When people go backpacking, they only take a backpack with them. Backpackers usually do not spend too much money on a trip. For example, they would rather take a train than a plane when they go from city to city.
Unit 3 Our animal friends
A blind man and his “eyes” in a fire
One day, John Dancer and Charlie arrived at a hotel.
“Good evening, sir,” said the receptionist.”You’re welcome to stay, but I’m sorry that we don’t allow pets here.”
“Charlie isn’t a pet,” said John. “He’s my eyes. I’m blind and I can’t go anywhere by myself.” The receptionist apologized and led John and Charlie to their room.
John was very tired. He soon fell asleep. Some time later, Charlie started barking. John woke up and smelt smoke. A fire! Smoke started to come in from under the door. With Charlie’s help, John put some wet towels along
the bottom of the door. Then he got down on the floor next to Charlie and waited.
Soon he heard the sound of a fire engine. A fireman arrived and got him out
of the building, but the fireman did not want to take Charlie. John would not go without his “eyes”. Finally, the fireman got Charlie out of the building too and they were both safe.
A friendly dolphin
Last month, I went to swim in the sea. I swam really far, past the rocks and out to sea.
Then I saw something moving towards me. It was huge and grey, with a large fin. It was a shark! I began to swim back, but the beach was too far away. The shark started to swim around me.
I was really scared. Suddenly another creature appeared next to me in the water. It was a dolphin! It pushed me away from the shark. I sat on its back
as it swam towards the beach.
Soon we were near the beach. The shark did not follow us. As soon as I stepped onto the beach, the dolphin swam away. I will always how this friendly animal saved my life.
Dog laws
Some countries have laws about dogs. For example, in the UK, all dogs must wear collars (i.e. bands put around their necks ) in public places. The collar should show the name and address of the dog’s owner. However, some dogs such as guide dogs and rescue dogs, do not have to follow this law.
Unit 4 Save the trees
Trees in our daily lives
Rebecca wants to know more about trees and how they help us. She is interviewing Dr Jones about trees.
Rebecca: How do trees help us, Dr Jones?
Dr. Jones: They help us in many ways. They keep the air cool and clean. They take in harmful gases from the air and produce oxygen for us to breathe. They’r e major fighters against air pollution.
Rebecca: I know trees also make our lives more convenient. Many of the things in our daily lives come from trees. For example, paper and pencils. Dr Jones: You’re right, Rebecca. In fact, we got a lot more from trees. We get fruit and oil from them. Tea also comes from the leaves of trees. Look around this room. A lot of the furniture is made of wood. Trees are really
important in our daily lives.
Rebecca: I can’t imagine a world without trees.
Dr Jones: But we cut down millions of trees every year. We should stop doing this if we don’t want a world without trees.
The Amazon rainforest
The Amazon rainforest in South America is the largest rainforest in the world. It covers five and a half million square kilometres of the Amazon Basin and spreads across nine countries.
The Amazon rainforest is very important because it is home to thousands of animals, birds and insects. However, people are destroying the area by cutting down many of the trees. This is called “deforestation”. Many living
things lose their homes because of deforestation. As a result, the number of kinds of animals, birds, insects and trees in the world is decreasing.
We must do our best to protect the Amazon rainforest.
Chinese tea
Tea is the most popular drink in the world besides water. All tea comes
from the tea plant. People pick leaves from it to make tea.
The habit of drinking tea has a long history in China. According to an old
story, Chinese emperor Shennong discovered tea. Lu Yu, a writer during
the Tang dynasty, wrote the first book about tea.
There are several types of Chinese tea, such as white tea, green tea and
black tea.
Unit 5 Water
Water talks
Dora was in the bathroom. The tap was on.
“Turn that tap off,”said an angry voice. “You’re wasting water.”
Dora looked around, but there was no one there.
“Who are you ?”
“I’m a drop of water. Do you know where I come from?”
“From the tap?” asked Dora.
“A few days ago, I was in a cloud, ”said the drop of water. “Then I dropped in a river and ran into a reservoir. Then it was time for people to clean me.”“Clean you?”Dora asked.
“Yes. I was dirty. They cleaned me and added some chemicals to me. Then I travelled through the pipes under the streets an d now I’m here.”
Dora asked, ”So is this your end of journey?”
“No. People will make me clean again. I’ll go into a river and then into the sea again.”
“Again?”
“Yes. My journey starts there. Remember not to waste or pollute me. I’m valuable.”
Dora turned tap off and came out of the bathroom.
Facts about water
Here are some interesting facts about water:
About 70% of human body is water.
Oceans cover about 75% of the Earth, but ocean water is salty. Therefore most of the water in the world is not drinkable.
Groundwater may be drinkable, but it is not easy to find groundwater that is clean and safe to drink.
If water drips from your tap every 10 seconds, you will waste about 315 litres of water a year—enough to fill two baths
Having a bath uses about twice as much water as taking a shower.
Having a shower instead of a bath can save up to 400 litres a week.
Venice
Venice is famous throughout the world. People also call it the “Floating City” and the “City of Water” because the whole city is on the water—
there are over 117 small islands and over 400 bridges in this city. One of
the best ways to see the city is on a gondola — a traditional boat.
Unit 6 Electricity
Electricity all around
One evening, Daisy said, ”I’m going to buy a packet of sweets. Does anyone want anything?”
Benny, Daisy’s brother, replied, ”Can you get me a packet of electricity?”“Yes, I can,” said Daisy. Then she went out. Benny laughed, ”She can’t buy electricity in packets like sweets! She’ll look foolish” Mum said, ”You mustn’t say that, Benny!”
“What do you know about electricity, Benny?” Dad asked.
“Electricity gives us power. It flows through wires. It’s like water, in a way, ” said Benny.
“You’re right! Electricity comes into our flat thro ugh thin wires. These are connected to cables under the street,” Dad added.
“What are the cables connected to ?” asked Benny.
“They ’re connected to a power station,” answered Dad.
A moment later, Daisy came back.
“May I have my packet of electricity?” Benny asked.
“Here you are!” said Daisy.
“But… these are batteries!” said Benny.
“Daisy’s right, ” said Dad. “The chemicals inside batteries produce electricity.”Mum said, “Who looks foolish now, Benny?”
Electricity safety tips
Electricity makes our lives easier. We use a lot of electrical appliances in our homes every day. Here are three of them. How can we use them safely?
Rice cooker
Keep the outside of the pot dry.
Do not switch the rice cooker on if the pot is empty.
Washing machine
Do not put your hand in the washing machine when it is on.
Unplug it when you are not using it.
Microwave
Do not turn it on when it is empty, because it might start a fire.
Stand at least one metre away from the microwave when it is on.
Before you put an object in a microwave, make sure it is microwave safe. Earth Hour
Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia. In that year,2.2 million people
turned their lights off for one hour. They did this to show that they cared about
climate change. Since then, people from all over the world do the same on
the last Saturday of March every year. More and more countries are joining Earth Hour.

浅谈“概括课文主要内容”的策略 概括课文主要内容是一项重要的阅读能力。作为教师，要特别抓好这一能力的训练，既要教给学生一定的方法，还要让他们不断实践，在实践中提升。笔者在平时的阅读教学中进行了以下尝试： 一、不同体裁的文章，不同形式的概括 （一）叙事类文章，不拘一格 记叙文是以叙述为主要表达方式，以写人物的经历和事物发展变化为主要内容的一种文体。它是小学最常见的一种文体。抓好记叙文主要内容的概括就差不多是抓好了整个小学阶段课文主要内容的概括。 1. 理清思路，提取要素 叶圣陶先生在《语文教学二十韵》中曾指出：“作者思有路，遵路识斯真。”显然，阅读理解要从理清思路入手。而叙述性文章一般包括时间、地点、人物和事情四个要素。其中事情又由起因、经过、结果组成。在概括这类文章时, 教师可以指导学生运用“什么时候，谁在什么地方做什么”这样的句式，通过提取主要信息来概括主要内容。 例如：人教版五（下）的一篇课文《晏子使楚》，事情发生的时间是春秋末期，地点是楚国，人物是齐国大夫晏子、楚王，事件是在晏子出使楚国期间，楚王三次侮辱晏子，晏子三次聪明回击。把这四要素连接起来，就可以概括出文章的主要内容：春秋末期，齐国大夫晏子出使楚国，楚王三次侮辱晏子，晏子巧妙回击, 维护了国家尊严。 2. 串联情节，标题概括 情节是记叙文的核心要素之一，没有情节便不能称为记叙文。而一篇优秀的记叙文必然要有“波澜”，也就是起伏的情节。因此，在概括文章主要内容时，也可以选取有代表性的情节进行概括，通常这个时候，我们可以运用小标题概括法。巧用标题概
括，可以更好地梳理文章的内容，使情节一目了然，更好地帮助学生进行概括。 3. 巧用词语，辐射感知 文章由句子组成，句子则由一个个词语所组成。词语的出示既可以作为初读环节中字音、字形、字义的检查，也可以作为整体感知文章内容的一个媒介。 ①以一个词语辐射 温州市小语教研员曹鸿飞老师在执教略读课文《学会看病》时，通过“按图索骥”这个词语的理解，用一句话“那么在课文中又是什么意思呢”引申出课文内容，以一点辐射到全文，真可谓是妙举。 ②以一串词语辐射 记得一位老师曾经上过四（下）的一篇课文《普罗米修斯》，老师在字词检查关的第二次出示了这样一组词： 在纠正学生字音后，徐老师先让学生说说这四个神之间发生了什么事， 然后通过人物关系的箭头标示，再来说课文的主要内容，这样不仅降低了概括的难度，也实现了词语的活用。 （二）说明性文章，善用表格 说明文是客观地说明事物的一种文体。阅读这类文章，要抓住说的是什么事物、从哪几个方面来说明的、说明的物体有什么特点，然后进行概括。对于这类文章，运用表格进行概括能收到很好的效果。 （三）文言类的小古文，巧借题目 文言类小古文，语言凝练。概括这类文章的主要内容，我们要善于借助题目，从题目着手，进行扩展。 人教版六（下）第一组课文中有一篇文言文是《两小儿辩日》，概括这 类文章的主要内容时我们可以这样做: 根据题目，教师问：辩是什么意思？谁和谁争辩？他们在争辩什么？各自执什
爱意味着永远不会说“找工作去” 我和我大学时的恋人结婚将近24年了。那时候我并没有意识到比尔让我最倾心的创业精神竟然是引起无比兴奋和深深焦虑的不竭源泉。正是经济大萧条使我明白了，所有的完美计划和梦想都可能在远强于我们自身的强大力量下改变。正是我们在这个动荡分化时期的所作所为才能说明我们到底是怎样的人。我的丈夫？在他频繁转换工作的那几个月里，我发现他喜欢清理车库。 在我们获得了商科硕士学位以后，比尔和我跟随第一波技术大发展的浪潮来到硅谷安顿下来。我的工作是市场营销和广告策划，而他在一家新成立的公司找到了一份工作，这家公司很快就由Cisco System收购。他留了下来，并帮助Cisco建立起了无线网络业务。而后，他又最终离开了这家公司进入了另一家新兴企业，这一次他是去当公司的CEO。他还成功地卖掉了那家公司，然后休息了一段时间。 我们有三个孩子，在Palo Alto有一栋很好的房子，而且我们感到前途会一片光明。我们生活在美国梦里。我们到处旅游。我们去做义工。我们购买了很多艺术品。我们忙着买东买西，没有注意到连我们的车库都装得满满的了。那似乎就是生活应有的样子。 比尔很快又加入了Google，帮助他们开拓新的业务。他不必像在创业公司那么拼命地干，但日子还不错。稳定有其积极的一面。他有时间回家吃饭，而且还可以给孩子们的运动队当教练。还有，他喜欢他的那些更为年轻的同事们的精气神和智慧。 接着，大萧条来了。我们目睹了朋友、家庭甚至整个国家都失去了工作，失去了住所，失去了全部的稳定感。我们本以为有免疫力，可以躲过这一劫。看看Facebook, Twitter, YouTube吧：难道硅谷又起火了吗？但是这种低迷滑坡却伤害了每一个人，包括那些高速发展的科技公司。Google重组了，很快比尔受雇所做的工作也变得不再那么令人振奋了。他决定冒个险，辞职不干工作了。 我很焦虑。难道他疯了么？这个世界在萎缩，而他也不会再变得年轻。当然，如果你是一个20来岁的奇才，能开创下一个伟大的社会媒体公司，这个世界就只不过是你可以用来获取好处的工具；人们甚至会以你的生活为题材拍一部电影。但是这个城市喜欢年轻人。万一他找不到合适的机会怎么办？ 好几个月他都没有找到合适的工作。我们的吃住开销已经快要耗尽我们的积蓄了。我开始担心孩子们的大学学费、房贷以及我们的养老问题了。突然，我后悔辞去了自己的全职工作而专心照看家庭。我曾经梦想过写作生涯，但也许我应该再找份工作了。我们的未来似乎不再那么光明。 但是我那勇敢的丈夫并没有屈服于压力。相反，他认为现在做一次春季大清理恰逢其时。一天早上，我们送孩子上学之后他说：“哎，亲爱的，我们家的东西太多了。我们来一个清宅旧货大甩卖吧。” 现在我有很多的事情要做，但是花时间去清理孩子们的旧录影带、不能穿的衣服、不用的玩具却不在其列。然而，他却停不下来。他需要找事做让自己忙碌起来，我已经开始隐约

新概念第四册文本 1）We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas--legends handed down from one generation of story-tellers to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from. Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace. ************************************************************* 2）Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends ? Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings. Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six. How many spiders are engaged in this work on our behalf ? One authority on spiders made a census of the spiders in a grass field in the south of England, and he estimated that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre, that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football pitch. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in the country. T. H. GILLESPIE Spare that Spider from The Listener ************************************************************* 3）Modern alpinists try to climb mountains by a route which will give them good sport, and the more difficult it is, the more highly it is regarded. In the pioneering days, however, this was not the case at all. The early climbers were looking for the easiest way to the top because the summit was the prize they sought, especially if it had never been attained before. It is true that during their explorations they often faced difficulties and dangers of the most perilous nature, equipped in a manner which would make a modern climber shudder at the thought, but they did not go out of their way to court such excitement. They had a single aim, a solitary goal--the top! It is hard for us to realize nowadays how difficult it was for the pioneers. Except for one or two places such as Zermatt and Chamonix, which had rapidly become popular, Alpine villages tended to be impoverished settlements cut off from civilization by the high mountains. Such inns as there were were generally dirty and

能允许我自己做决定吗？ 很多青少年都有自己的业余爱好。但有时候，这些业余爱好会阻碍他们的学业，父母可能会担心他们在学校的学习成绩。孩子们都希望尽可能多些机会实践自己爱好。你同意吗？ 刘宇是来自山东省的一位15岁的男孩，他是一个赛跑运动明星。他是学校校队的一名队员，希望长大以后能成为职业跑步运动员。可是他的父母不愿让他花太多时间去训练。“我们当然希望看到他实现自己的梦想，”刘先生说，“我们也知道他是多么喜欢跑步，我妻子和我也曾经支持他的每一次比赛。我们不反对跑步，但是儿子必须要考虑其他可能得工作。他现在长大了，他一定要考虑好，万一成不了职业运动员怎么办？” 刘宇却不认同他们的想法。“我觉得应该允许我自己做决定，”她说：“我父母总是教育我在学校努力学习、上大学是多么多么重要。我能理解这一点，但是对于跑步，我也是很严肃对待的。这是唯一我特别想做的事情” 刘宇的父母认为刘宇晚上应该用功学习，因此，我们不同意他晚上出去练习跑步。“也许他会认为我们太过严格或者不公平。”刘先生说，“但我们认为我们这么做是对的。成为一个职业运动明星是很难的，所以他必须在自己的功课上多花点时间。” 但刘宇还是不同意。“我知道我父母关心我。他们总是说如果不成功怎么办。可我一定会成功！我跑的很快。我觉得应该让我自己做决定。只有这样我才有机会实现自己的梦想。”

生本高效语文课堂理论建构及实施策略 山东省教学研究室李家栋 生本高效语文课堂理论与实践研究工作，是山东省小语会2009年提出并组织开展研究的。初期参与该课题研究工作的有济南市历下区甸柳第一小学、淄博市临淄区稷下小学、滨州市博兴县第一小学、东营市实验学校、威海市文登实验小学五所学校，现已扩展到一百余所学校。关于该课题的研究成果，省教研室2011年春天在泰安召开了展示研讨会议，对其进行了宣传介绍。随后，陆续应邀到省内外多地介绍。为便于大家全面了解该课题的研究情况，我介绍以下三个方面的内容。一是课题的提出；二是生本高效语文课堂的内涵；三是生本高效语文课堂教学活动基本构成要素及实施策略。 一、课题的提出 2006年，山东省小语会依据语文学习及语文教育的规律提出了“阅读中外经典，享受读书乐趣”这一课题进行研究，旨在落实《语文课程标准》的精神和要求，推动校园读书，引导学生阅读经典，建构有助于学生拥有幸福人生的底色。课题一提出，立刻得到省内许多学校校长、教师及语文教研专家的支持。作为课题研究的提出者、发起者，甚是欣慰。但同时也听到了不同的声音，有的老师说，我们也知道让学生读书重要，可学习教材的时间都紧张，哪有时间让学生读其它的书呀！老师们的话触动了我。是呀，不帮助老师改革课堂教学，怎么能落实我们的好想法呢！为解决这一问题，我们做了三方面的研究工作：一是设计问卷及课堂观测量表，调查了解课堂教学存在的问题；二是学习与生本教育、高效课堂相关的理论和研究经验；三是提出构建生本高效语文课堂的研究构想。 (一)设计问卷及课堂观测量表，调查了解课堂教学存在的问题。 问卷包括学生问卷和教师问卷两类。其中，学生问卷按学段设计了低中高三份。学生问卷样本，各实验学校在本校低中高三个学段各选一个班作为样本。教师问卷样本的选取，各实验学校语文教师、分管语文教学的领导全部参与。关于课堂观测，各实验学校从全国名师课、省级以上课堂教学比赛中的经典课、优秀教师常态课、一般教师常态课这四类课中至少各选择一节进行研究。在此基础上，实验学校、总课题组形成研究报告。 学生问卷举例： 山东省“生本高效语文课堂理论与实践研究”课题实验高年级学生调查问卷“生本高效语文课堂理论与实践研究”课题组研制亲爱的同学们，你们好！请根据下面的提示，认真做选择或回答，以帮助老师了解大家的需求，努力改进老师的教学，让大家更好的学语文、用语文。1．你喜欢你的语文老师吗？（A ） A．很喜欢 B．一般 C．不喜欢 2．你喜欢或不喜欢语文老师的主要原因是什么？请简要描述 喜欢的原因：风趣幽默 不喜欢的原因： 3.你盼望上语文课吗？ A．很盼望 B．一般 C．不盼望
